Liverpool on brink of landing Florian Wirtz in record-breaking transfer after sending fresh offer for Bayer Leverkusen's €150m star

<p>The Premier League champions have been working hard since the end of the season to sign Bayer Leverkusen's in-demand Wirtz, as they looked to beat the likes of Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich to the signing of the 22-year-old. Liverpool submitted their first offer for the German international last week but saw their mammoth €130 million (£110m/$148m) bid <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-130m-florian-wirtz-bid-rejected-bayer-leverkusen-transfer/blt03567b962e19b7af#csddc453e96c7e6841" target="_blank">rejected by Die Werkself as they looked to hold out for a transfer fee of €150 million</a> (£127m/$171m).</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p><a href="https://x.com/_pauljoyce/status/1931095168876450167" target="_blank">The Times' Paul Joyce</a> has now reported that Liverpool have officially submitted a revised offer worth £100 million (€118.6m/$135.3m) with the additional £13 million (€15.4m/$17.6m) in add-ons. The total offer still falls short of Bayer Leverkusen's demanded price by a fair margin, which the Reds are unwilling to meet.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p><a href="https://x.com/Plettigoal/status/1931085951779962918" target="_blank">Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg</a> also reported that Liverpool have indeed tabled fresh conversations with Die Werkself and the two sides are very close to reaching an agreement for the record-breaking transfer of Wirtz. The report added that a deal is now 'just a matter of time'.</p>

TELL ME MORE...

<p>The German had been hoping for a transfer away from Leverkusen this summer as he looked to take on a 'new challenge'. Wirtz had been convinced by the Liverpool project and has already turned down both Bayern and City to shift his focus completely towards Arne Slot's side.</p>
